    正确答案: C
    解析:
    根据题意定位至第三段第一句“In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal.”说明该段的内容与蚂蚁如何与敌人战斗有关。根据画线短语所在句子中的“fearless”和“a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target”可知,蚂蚁不惧怕与比自己大得多的动物打斗,它们会成群地发动攻击,战胜它们的目标。故推测画线短语take on意为“与……打斗”,与fight against意思相近。
